Chapter 1038 Auxiliary Methods

"Rules are rules for women; what need is there for men to have any rules?"

Women's precepts and virtues were all specifically designed to restrict women, and for thousands of years they have become the ingrained mindset of the people of Daqi.

"Sister Qing'er, the ladies of prominent families have good taste in choosing you."

Lin Yuesha comforted Zhang Qing'er, saying that marriage is a big decision and there's no need to rush into it. She said that it's important to find out not only about the other person's character and education, but also about their family.

If you were to be stuck with ruthless relatives like the Tian family, that would be truly unlucky.

Of course, wealthy families only maintained a facade of respectability, just like a quilt with a silk overcoat but filled with filthy, black-hearted cotton.

"Sister Yue Sha, why do you think those ladies took a fancy to me?"

Zhang Qing'er blushed with embarrassment and said, "They actually touched my butt and said I was destined to have sons and that having many children would bring me great fortune."

There was a lady from a prominent family, whose household was small, who was particularly attentive to Zhang Qing'er. At first, Zhang Qing'er was unaware of this, but after visiting her several times, the lady often brought up the matter of childbirth and told her strange tales from the south.

A woman in her early thirties gave birth to quadruplets, all sons, and the lady spoke with great envy.

After learning the truth, Zhang Qing'er was so angry that she stomped her feet. She told her parents frankly that she would not marry into such a family.

If she can't have children after marriage, won't she quickly become a widow who has shared hardship?

After seeing through the man's faithlessness and infidelity, Zhang Qing'er often contemplated never marrying.

"What did the godparents say?"

There's no need to lose heart about marriage just because you've met a few oddballs; there will always be different people out there.

Xu Da is a prime example. Before getting married, he boasted all day long that he would make Wuya submit to him in the future, but now he's just a henpecked husband.

"Of course I disagree."

Zhang Qing'er sighed. Where could she find a decent young man with good character? In any case, she had no suitors.

Speaking of marriage, Zhang Qing'er thought of something else.

Qi Heng has occupied the northwest and northern regions, and is only one step away from returning to the capital to settle scores with the remnants of the Wei family. The situation in the capital has changed drastically.

“You know my scumbag cousin. Once he found out about our relationship, he started thinking about it and tried every possible way to get close to me.”

Zhang Qing'er and Lin Qian had been engaged before. Lin Qian met Qing Dai, and the two practiced medicine together. They came to the north to find Zhang Qing'er to break off the engagement.

Because Zhang Qing'er was wronged, the marriage between the two families fell through, and things didn't go very well.

Once Qi Heng takes power, the Zhang family's status will rise accordingly. Zhang Qing'er is Lin Yuesha's good friend, and she will benefit greatly from this in the future.

Lin Qian admitted his mistakes and expressed remorse, wanting to rekindle his relationship with Zhang Qing'er.

"Lin Qian already has a son, and he still wants to divorce his wife and remarry. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Although Lin Qian didn't marry Qingdai, Qingdai wasn't stupid; what would she gain from following Lin Qian?

"That scumbag even said that since his son was adopted by me, he would be my own flesh and blood from now on."

Lin Qian was born into a family of doctors and had seen too many women die in childbirth. He pretended to be affectionate and told Zhang Qing'er that she did not need to give birth, as long as she recognized Qingdai's son as her own.

Getting something for nothing is such a good thing.

"I don't want to take advantage of this."

Zhang Qing'er was so angry after seeing Lin Qian's letter that she didn't eat for three days.

In Lin Qian's eyes, Zhang Qing'er was a fool who had hung herself on one tree.

"Lin Qian is in Beijing, right? When we get back to Beijing, I'll help you get revenge!"

Lin Yuesha patted Zhang Qing'er on the back, speaking with loyalty.

The two chatted for half an hour before Yan Yan joined them.

"Sister Yan, do you think the rabbit's mouth can be sewn up?"

Lin Yuesha was very concerned about Xiaotu's condition, and among the people around her, Yan Yan was considered one of the best.

“The little girl is pitiful. It can be stitched up, at least to stop the deformity, but I noticed that she has some problems with her teeth, and I'm afraid it can't be fixed in one go.”

According to Yan Yan's deduction, it would probably take three to four sutures to reverse the change, but she wasn't sure if it could be completely cured.

Therefore, she suggested that she perform the first suture first, and then wait for Doctor Liao to arrive so that the two of them could work together to develop a plan.

Yan Yan mainly treated external injuries in the Northwest and assisted women in childbirth. She did not encounter a patient like Xiao Tu.

Yan Yan couldn't guarantee the final result, but there shouldn't be any problem with suturing the cleft lip.

When the Xie family found out, they all wanted to kowtow again, but Lin Yuesha stopped them.

After settling the people Yan Yan brought, Lin Yuesha hosted a dinner for Zhang Qing'er and Yan Yan.

Instead of going to the cafeteria, she cooked a feast herself to express her sincerity.

"The apple chips you sent me through someone were delicious."

When Zhang Qing'er arrived in the south, she couldn't make any new friends and often wrote letters to Lin Yuesha. The two talked about the differences between the north and the south, and each time they would write more than ten pages of letters.

Although they hadn't seen each other for over a year, the two sisters showed no signs of awkwardness.

"By the way, Sister Yuesha, on our way from the Northwest, we stayed overnight at a villager's house and encountered a woman having a difficult childbirth."

Zhang Qing'er sighed repeatedly when she talked about this.

The woman's amniotic fluid was almost gone. She had been in pain for a day and a night, but still couldn't give birth and was on the verge of death.

At that time, the woman's mother-in-law went out to ask for help. She was already confused and knelt down whenever she saw someone.

It was also the woman's good fortune that she met Yan Yan, who immediately went with the woman's mother-in-law to see what was going on.

"Sister Yan, did you have a C-section to remove the baby?"

Lin Yuesha put down the chili pepper in her hand and asked curiously.

In her view, cesarean section is quite difficult and involves a lot of uncertainty.

"No, but I used auxiliary methods."

The woman's baby was in the correct position. Seeing that there was no time to lose, Yan Yan cut open the woman's birth canal.

The baby's head was a bit large, and the woman was exhausted, resulting in a difficult labor.

After the suturing was completed, medication was still needed. Yan Yan was worried about the woman's safety, so she kept her for two more days to observe her condition.

"Childbirth is a life-or-death ordeal, and you pulled that woman back from the brink of death."

Lin Yuesha pointed to the crabs in the basket, saying that Yan Yan's medical skills had improved so much that they had to add more dishes to celebrate.

Small barbecue tables and tents were set up on the beach, and seafood, meat and vegetables were prepared. Lin Yuesha lit the charcoal and started grilling.

"Lin girl, what's something delicious to eat?"

Luo Wang had just returned from his errands and missed the cafeteria's mealtime. Hearing that Lin Yuesha was grilling meat, he came over following the aroma.

"Ugh, you pervert!"

As soon as the Prince of Luo approached, Zhang Qing'er was terrified and immediately stood up and screamed.

"Why is it you?"

The Prince of Luo frowned, feeling deeply that he was unlucky.

"You don't recognize me?"

Yan Yan was stunned. Logically speaking, the Zhang family was in the capital and should know Prince Luo.

"Pretty boy, what are you doing here?"

Zhang Qing'er was shocked. Should she recognize the person in front of her?

"What happened?"

Lin Yuesha noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off and interjected.

Judging from Zhang Qing'er's expression, there must be a misunderstanding between her and Prince Luo.

The Zhang family did not hold a high position in the capital and did not often travel within the inner city. Moreover, Zhang Qing'er had always accompanied her parents to their posts and did not spend much time in the capital. She had only seen Prince Luo once from afar.
